Yes...I remember that machine too. Our Woolworths had one and so did J.C. Penney. When I was little...about 8 or 9...my friends and I would take our quarters to Penney's to buy 1/4 yd. of different fabrics. We thought we are so grown up. Then we would come home and start handsewing clothes for our dolls. We all had Muffie Dolls...remember them? We would use the gathering stitch at the top for a skirt or dress...hem the other 3 sides and put snaps on the back. For dresses we would attach small squares...one for the front and the other for the back. Put it on the doll and then figure how far up and then down the side seam we had to sew so her arms would go through them. We all had way too many "summer dresses" for our dolls. As we got older and had Barbie dolls we had to make those top squares a bit bigger...LOL.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
